Lessons

All children need good nutrition and adequate physical activity to grow to their full cognitive and physical potential, achieve a healthy weight, and to be protected again chronic disease in later life.

The National Healthy Eating and Physical Activity Guidelines for Early Childhood Settings (Get Up & Grow guidelines) were developed by child health and early childhood professionals in collaboration with the Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing.

The Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) was developed and published in 2009 by the Council of Australian Governments and is Australia’s first national Early Years Learning Framework for early childhood educators.

Contextualise the learning gained in the Professional Development Day by highlighting how you intend to implement the Get Up & Grow messages in your setting. You may work individually or as a group to complete this activity.

The National Quality Framework (NQF) was established on 1 January 2012, replacing the National Childcare Accreditation Council and applies to most long day care, family day care, preschool (or kindergarten) and outside schools hours care services.
